The presentation of finance bill (PLF) 2023 will take place on Monday, September 26, 2022. Many measures will be discussed. The objective is to define and allocate the resources and state charges. Hence the use of taxes.
This finance bill will also have the objective to increase the standard of living of French households. The PLF will also address the revaluation of the scale of tax brackets. A scale that might be increased to 5%.
Why an upgrade?
L’inflation should be around 6% in 2022, the new tax schedule will be defined accordingly. This revaluation will prevent some households who, until now, did not pay the tax, pay it.
Elle will also prevent certain taxpayers no longer pay tax. This by not doing them passer in the upper slice. To note that upgrading also has for purpose of enabling certain households to retain their tax and social benefits.
We can then ask ourselves if, with this upgradeemployees do not go pay more taxes. The answer is no, because the draft finance law aims to maintain the purchasing power of employees.
Indeed, thanks to the revaluation of the scaleemployees who have not been increased in 2022, pay less tax. Indeed, they will automatically pass in the lower slice.
In contrast, employees who received a raise will pay more taxes. However, this increase will be limited. This augmentation however, will be limited. In fact, entering the top slice will be slower.
He is out of the question than the employees, than the French pay more income tax or fall within the income tax scale income due to inflation. I want to end this worry, said the Minister of EconomyBruno Le Maire.
It remains to be seen how things will change. Anyway, it is interesting to see the evolution the scale of tax brackets.

The initiatives taken by the State to help employees
The salary increases will not be enough to revive the purchasing power of the French. This is due to the inflation that has been raging in France for many months. According Banque de France forecaststhis inflation will soon exceed the increase in wages.
What will make the situation even more complex. Faced with this, the parliamentarians decided to act. To help employees, they took some initiatives. In particular, they plan to lower taxes and to improve certain modes of transport.
The prime Macron will also be reviewed. For information, the first Macron was created in 2018 following the movements of the Yellow Vests. In implementing it, the state aimed to increase the standard of living Household.
